[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I helped both my older kids pick their freshman classes. I explained a lot about prerequisites and requirements for graduation. then I basically said "Got it? Okay, call with any questions" for their second years.  They ran with it from there.[/quote]

I wish that I had had some help when I was choosing my classes registering as a freshman, but I had a mother who had barely graduated HS and an absent father, so I was on my own.  I had no clue what I was doing (first to attend college in my family) and boy that first semester could have been a lot better scheduled.

But today it's also a LOT of money parents are putting on the line, so I get that they are more involved.  When I went to college in 1985, my tuition was $2400.  Not so much anymore, so there's more at stake for parents.[/quote]

Agree. It's too much money these days to cost a semester from lack of a general plan and some guidance on how to balance a schedule and meet some requirements. Don't count on advising this year in particular.[/quote]
